>As of January 1 2024, Steam will officially stop supporting the Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 operating systems. After that date, the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of Windows. In order to continue running Steam and any games or other products purchased through Steam, users will need to update to a more recent version of Windows.
>This change is required as core features in Steam rely on an embedded version of Google Chrome, which no longer functions on older versions of Windows. In addition, future versions of Steam will require Windows feature and security updates only present in Windows 10 and above.
>Although support won't end until 2024, we strongly encourage all Windows 7/8/8.1 users to update sooner rather than later. Microsoft ended security updates and technical support for Windows 7 in January 2020 and for Windows 8.1 in January 2023. Computers running these operating systems, when connected to the internet, are susceptible to new malware and other exploits which will not be patched. That malware can cause your PC, Steam and games to perform poorly or crash. That malware can also be used to steal the credentials for your Steam account or other services.

>>10422968
You must run the newest hardware and newest OS. Gayben has promised google and microsoft 1 dedicated cpu core and 2 gb of ram each so they may spy on you super efficiently and show you irrelevant ads for laser eye surgery when you don't even wear glasses, thus in turn raising the price of products as corporations have to pass the costs of their marketing geniuses onto the consumer. >>10423768

>>10422878
GoG is awesome man. it's exactly what you would want from a digital distribution service: DRM-free games with patches applied on a simple download page. my only complaint would be that some of their shit is way overpriced (Warcraft 1+2 for $15? come on dude), but they do have a lot of deals and discounts. that said, i think having Steam around is good, if only because it keeps GoG in check.

>>10424116
I wish gog had downloads for the original ISO versions cause some of their fixes break compatibility with original hardware. Also I wish they stuck the roms in their own section, I get so tired of looking through the store and seeing all the roms for sale.

Why is windows such goyslop now, the ironic and unironic defenders are awful too, it’s bad enough you have fags on /v/ defending microtransactions but the windows defense is just mind boggling, why is EVERYONE on this site such a corporate cocksucker now? It didn’t used to be this bad. Inb4 someone calls me a commie or something because I want decent software

its this new era of pc gaymers, they think new = good and old = bad and actually believe the microsoft marketing department lines about windows 7 being "unsecure" (or insecure as I saw one retard on reddit put). yeah the only thing unsecure about windows 7 is I dont have a secured direct connection to microsoft ya retard fucks.

And I had upgraded from XP not too long ago, took me ages to get convinced to upgrade, and many games and programs dropping support for it. Now that I finally had Win7 it's obsolete again.
Funny that back then, when I was forced to upgrade from XP, Win10 was being heralded as the last and best Windows that would get updates forever. And now here we are with another Windows after 10.
Considering my track record (I waited for Service Pack 3 on XP to update from 98) I bet when I get Win10 it will be obsolete again

>>10425756
Nanami will never die. XP-tan entrusted the future to her.

>>10425756
>I bet when I get Win10 it will be obsolete again
some programs already deny features to ""LTS"" builds, and there already are laptops without any drivers for 10

>>10425769
Fuck this industry

Win10 isn't going anywhere anytime soon. it's still, by far, the most popular OS and will be receiving updates for the forseeable future. shit, i was still using windows XP into 2021, and aside from a few broken websites, it was completely functional. i have no doubt that Win10 will be a serviceable OS for the next 10+ years, possibly indefinitely. you just have to learn how to uncuck it, as you do with all corporate products.

>>10425836
>you just have to learn how to uncuck it
There's no guarantee that you can uncuck it for good, but at least previous OSs had less to deal with.

>>10423056
not the same, golem

>>10425836
This, 10 is 7 all over again. 11 already started losing traction just like 8 did back in the day.

>>10425970
Even the latest Steam hardware survey shows this trend. Literally the same thing happened to 8/8.1, they got to ~30% then started dropping.

>>10423768
Just you wait until they reveal the Windows 10 kill switch.

Just finished up my last playthrough. The new update is great, things actually look correct and you don't need to use autoexec to fix all the little things that were messed up since the Vista era.
I'd even go so far as to say that the XASH source port is no longer necessary to play HL1.
Only problem now is that the updates are not available for Blue Shift and Opposing Forces, at least not the separate ones on Steam right now.

>>10426162
>XASH
It gets ported to consoles with homebrew capabilities so it would benefit from the controller support the new HL1 update added.

>>10425979
It has supposedly been dropping for ages now.
https://www.ghacks.net/2023/04/02/explanation-for-the-huge-windows-11-drop-on-steam-in-march-2023/
The trend is still climbing, though.

>>10426189
Even with Intel saying you should use Windows 11 with their new CPUs, I still believe it will be secondary to 10.

>>10426560
Bootlicker yes, but I don't think that Windows 10 necessarily removes emulation of older computers per se. I'd tell >>10426552
to at least get a Macintosh with the latest metal support, or if not, switch to Debian, Gentoo, Linux Mint, Open SUSE or even Kali

>>10426552
Actually it's because they're paranoid schizophrenics who thinks that windows 10 is going to email their mom and tell her they spent 14 hours jerking off to underage chink cartoon girls this week.
They're also technologically incompetent, and overall of below average intelligence so they don't realize Windows has spied on you constantly since always online Internet connections became commonplace since no one made an infographic about how XP and 7 did it.

>>10426552
>solely because for their user interface themes.

>linux nigger at it again
Daily reminder: there is nothing Linux does that you can't do on Windows. Nothing. Anything you dislike about Windows can be fixed with an .exe download. If you aren't willing to spend 30 minutes setting up your machine so it runs well and keeps your data safe, then you don't deserve a computer. Moreover, if you're doing something nefarious enough to worry that Microsoft or the government is spying on you, then you should be using an offline device to begin with. Linux is a shitty, unoptimized operating system with no games and no compatibility. It's for hipsters and queers. Kill yourself.

well there is an endless list of things you can do on Windows and can't do on Linux. Basically Linux is absolutely worthless for any semi serious audio/music work. In fact Linux distros are absolute shit especially in this regard, but in general it's good only for programming trannies.

>I thought we established that the screenshots weren't manipulated.
Yes, look at the post you are replying to, see how it says
>that pic [...] is [...] not an edit.
So there was no need to quibble about that with me. Regarding the vogons thread, I wasn't suggesting that the screens "aren't legitimate" I was griping that they used screens where you could not even notice the effect - to be fair I can see it now that I'm in a darker room with a better setup. Also he says something about it being a 'feature of GPUs' which I don't think is a good characterization

>>10427820
>Only for programming trannies
Ai t it the truth, I just load up Kali or some VMware shit if I need Linux for anything.

as shit as it is theres not much valve can do without forking libraries that that would eat up a bunch of their dev resources, all these older os deprecations are because a library of a library of a library they are using decides to stop supporting that os so millions of pieces of software will now stop working on it

>>10425836
It IS possible to use ultra old OS still today, the important part is how much do you lose by doing so. In this case, I would absolutely not move on to Win10, I can do anything I want in Win7, it accepts HDDs up to huge sizes, whatever SATA number that is good enough, decent video cards (I dont know about those raytracing ones but I don't care about those) I can even play some XP content here which I heard Win10 can't.
Yet I have to do it because I'm going to lose my Steam library, granted it's pretty much all retro stuff, I'm no longer interested in modern games, but still it's a lot of games.
So who knows if in the near future Win10 is still serviceable and stuff but some critical thing I use stops being supported.

>>10427993
Same thing happened to me, I clicked on the big banner thing and told me I had no license. I had to go to the Store, and search for Half Life, then there look for the one that says 100% off or free, and then click that one. THEN it gets added to your account.
It's like the guy that programmed that thought everyone had HalfLife and the button just launched the game, but you actually need to have it in your account.

>>10428479
Use your eyes and read

>>10427841
Right, I was confused by the "brightness 30" thing, thinking it was the console variable.
It's not the lighting itself that is the issue, but the textures. The effect is always there, it's just not obvious unless the textures are bright too, which is why the sand in the other screenshots sticks out so much.

So, now that the Half-Life 1 lighting is fixed, I can finally shift my autism to Half-Life 2.

>>10428489
>eat up a bunch of their dev resources
What does Valve even do all day? Alyx was the first actual game they made in God knows how many years.

>>10428489
Or they could just, ya know, let you download things you payed for without installing their shitty client.

>>10428981
Working hard on Deckard and its launch title Half-Life 3 of course

Is it really THAT fucking cumbersome to support legacy systems, even at the bare minimum level? Like, how hard would it be for Valve to just offer a version of steam that's literally just a watered down launcher that you use to connect to their servers and download the games? You don't need the store browser, you don't need the friends list, you don't need the community center. I just want to play CS-Source in Windows XP like god intended

>>10428989
They should just release a lite client without the Chrome libraries for browser gimmicks eating up RAM. It would solve two birds with one stone.

>>10429076
>I just want to play CS-Source in Windows XP like god intended
The 11th Commandment:
Thou shalt play Counter-Strike Source on Windows XP, and have no other games or operating systems before them

>>10422968
At this point just install Arch ffs.
Linux is basically Valve's target platform these days anyway, proton runs anything that doesn't use some shitty rootkit drm, and linux emulators perform way better than they ever did on binos

>>10429076
I once tried playing CSS and Half-Life 2 on a Windows XP virtual machine using a cracked Steam and the original 2004 data. Not the best experience, but it worked.

>>10426728
>Sure, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark are great games. But Timesplitters!? That game stinks!
What is wrong with Timesplitter's gameplay? The goofiness is very off-putting, but if you made a graphics/story hack with identical level design and enemy placement, etc, and made it super serious or atleast as serious as Perfect Dark, what would be your complaint?

Anybody having issues with multiplayer? I join servers with around 30 latency only to spike up to the 1000's and above.

>>10427301
Valve finally addressed this today. Still no true fix, but an officially recommended workaround:

>November 19, 2023 Update
...
>Fixed the inability to launch Half-Life: Blue Shift and Day of Defeat, as well as many other mods.
>NOTE: Many GoldSrc mods, Counter-Strike included, may still have compatibility issues with the updated version of the Half-Life engine. While we work on improving mod support it is advisable to install the beta "steam_legacy" build of Half-Life (which can be selected in the game's properties page) when playing mods.

Nowadays I'm completely spent, I no longer want to deal with installing any operating systems, if I'm going to go through the annoyance of partioning drives and installing yet another OS I rather just be done with it with Win10, but I'm fearing that it won't last long again and will have to move to yet another Windows.
I guess nowadays you don't have to hunt for every single driver (or even have to write your own) but still I wish that Chromium crap never had to happen, but since we are like 2% of the users we can eat shit.

Why is that?

I would have wanted to play this game when I was much younger, and didn't have a job or money to buy my own games.
Now that I do, I have to say, I don't enjoy this game as much as Red Faction. I think a big part of that, is that I think zombies are boring as fuck, and it's not satisfying to shoot the enemies, like it is in Goldeneye or Perfect Dark.
The environments are easier to get lost in.
I thought I would enjoy watching Freeman's Mind, but it gets boring at about Episode 5.
I tried watching "The Best of Freeman's Mind" and most of it was dull. I can't believe I watched so much of it when I was younger, but in 2008, options for free online entertainment were obviously a lot more limited.

>>10432973
I got to the point where I'm jumping on crates suspended from the ceiling. I'm still bored, but I've purchased the whole franchise (for less than $7), should I use cheats to skip to a later part of the game?
Should I skip to one of the sequels?

It's fine for simulating bounce lighting, but it destroys the SOVL of hard lights. You could always use both, but instead of applying it on a per model basis, apply it on a per light basis.

Half-Life 1 has very few lights that DON'T use half lambert, such as this one illuminating the grenade. Would be cool if there were more of them.

>>10433356
I always thought the light on the grenade looked especially good now you're telling me the whole game could look like that?

>>10434259

What was it?

Haha yes it is silly that anon is using 15 year old software, my fellow /vr/ poster. Let's continue discussing this 25 year old game.

I think something similar happened the last time I took a swing at Blue Shift as well. 20+ years later, and still a glitchy unplayable mess.

goldeneye is fucking awful to play, even back then i hated it

>>10435607
i remember the firs time i played it the scientists in the eleveator from the beginning of the game would get "crushed" by the elevator (it was a glitch the same would happen you with every elevator if you stand on a certain spot) and the game would count it as me killing him and it would game over me. the game was literally unplayable beyond that point.

i've since beaten the game, its fun but not as good as opposing force or the original half life

>>10434752
Too bad they broke it.

>>10435652
At least the story is less of a non-canon mess compared to Opposing Force.

>>10435652
Maybe your FPS was too high?

>>10435652
>take another swing at it
>get to alien world

Blue Shift sure as shit doesn't endear itself to the player, that's for sure.

I've played mods created by teens that were less buggy and glitchy than fucking Blue Shift at this point. I've played all the way through STALKER:Clear Sky, but I can't tolerate this level of broken.

>>10437368
you honestly must be retarded like pushing the battery in and trying to pull it out or clipping it through something so it gets stuck just so you can complain on the internet.

>>10426552
They hated him because he told them the truth.

>>10432501
Stop being a retard, W7 is still getting security updates. They're easy to install if you don't have brain rot

>>10437740
A very roundabout way of declaring his homosexuality, but if it is the truth who am I to judge.

>>10426552

Looks like you can modify the strength of the overbright by modifying the easily accessible shader.

>>10433081
Lot of natively running games these days, plus Proton's been a thing since 2018. No excuses left at this point.

>>10439532
NTA and thats all fine and dandy if I ever get another computer it will be running linux my problem is the revocation of our right to access our games. My PC is coming up on 12 years old here in January its got an i7 2600 its more than enough to handle anything I want to play I dont give a shit if my OS is "not secure" there is nothing important on my pc and my steam account is protected by 2fa anyway. I should be able to run a version of steam on my old core2duo XP machine I still have. Why should I not be able to run a small LAN for me and my friends using PCs that all worked with steam at one point. I just wanna play half life with my sons one day damn it.

COUNTER STRIKE HAS BEEN FIXED
AND NOW SUPPORTS TRUE WIDESCREEN
HOLY BASED

Does anyone know if afraid of monsters still works?

>>10441070
You can always go back to the legacy version.

overrated

I've been playing multiplayer and while its fun to stomp noobs with no experience with FPS games that are COD derived. It gets boring playing endless FFA servers where 16+ people are crammed into maps that are designed for 2-6 players.
It would be fun to play CTF, TDM etc. I found one Gun Game server but again that's just 16 or more player FFA.

>>10439952
Condition Zero is still broken.

>>10442246
i feel the exact same way buddy. I even had the same thought cross my mind. TDM and CTF are infinitely more fun than pubstomping scrubs

>>10442246
>>10442345
Sorry I meant to say "games that are *not COD derived".

Yeah I am not even any good at HL nor have I really played it before I just have experience with arena fps.
I am not even sure what modes shipped with HL. I know there is quite a lot of mp mods for HL1 but I don't see them in the browser so I assume most are standalone, which tends to be the case with goldsrc and source mods.
Also does anyone know why the rocket launcher feels so ass even at low ping? It's super delayed to fire and sometimes the guidance doesn't work. Not sure if that's just how it works in vanilla since i've only played AG a few times prior. I noticed some servers let you spin up the coil gun and some don't so it fires as soon as it's charged.

>>10442371
normally the gauss kills you when holding it too long. i dont know if base half life has CTF but i know opposing force does

>>10442424
I never even considered that the expansions had MP
